Here's my situation: as shown by my ASSP envelope recipient statistics,
my mail server gets hit by around 18,000 invalid recipient addresses a
day. This was at around 6,000 per day a year ago, and is continuing to
rise at a fairly steady rate. Now, I'd like to have ASSP reduce the load
on my server, and to reduce the ASSP log file sizes. By increasing the
irValencePB score in ASSP I have been able to cut off these rogue IPs
earlier, but it is my understanding that the ASSP penalty box only
rejects sessions after the full header is received.

What I'd like to see is an option whereby, for instance, an
penalty-extreme'd IP has its SMTP connection attempts summarily refused
at connection time, or some other mechanism put in place which does this
automatically ('cos analysing logs and manually adding IPs to
denySMTPConnectionsFrom isn't workable).
